Following the passing of Mainsite Policy Discussions, this subforum has been created for users to comment on policy proposals from staff - that is, any proposal for a change in site policy or staff processes that would previously have only been posted to 05Command, our staff site.
These threads exist for users to ask questions about, air thoughts on, give support to, or criticise policy proposed by staff members.1 Discussion is encouraged, both between individual users and staff members, but please keep in mind the Site Rules and remember to keep disagreement respectful. Staff members have been asked not to post top-level comments to these threads, but they may engage in discussion with users in replies. Staffers will be held to the same expectations as users - beholden to the site rules and the expectation of respectful discussion. Disagreement isn't discouraged though, and critique and suggestions are both welcome and encouraged!
Threads posted to this subforum will be open for as long as their 05Command counterparts to allow users enough time to comment and engage in discussion. After this, either further discussions will be had to further shape the policy, or it will proceed to voting (if no consensus exists) on whether the policy is implemented. The vote will only be open to staff members, but we hope these threads provide enough of a space for user input.
More information on site and staff policy can be found in the 05Command Site Charter, the Staff Guide Directory, and the 05Command Policy Discussion subforum, where staff discuss policy publically before holding a vote in the Voting Threads subforum.
